Ceded Reinsurance Oversight Manager, Platform Partner Syndicates

Who we are

Apollo, a Skyward Group company, is an innovation-inspired insurance platform operating at Lloyd’s of London, delivering data-driven and creative solutions across a broad range of risks.

Our name reflects our origins. Inspired by one of our founding investors, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, the business was built with the same pioneering mindset. Alongside Jim Hays, Neil set out to create a different kind of Lloyd’s platform, focused, agile and built around people.

Since launch in 2009, we have grown into a diversified insurance group offering products across Property, Casualty, Marine, Energy and Transportation, Specialty and Reinsurance, alongside Smart Follow and digital and embedded risk programmes. Our experience and unique ecosystem give Platform Partners the best chance of success, from navigating the Lloyd’s new entrant process through to the delivery of their long-term strategy.

With a team of more than 300 professionals, we continue to grow with purpose, combining underwriting excellence, innovation and collaboration to enable a more resilient and sustainable world.

Your Role

We are looking for a Ceded Reinsurance Oversight Manager to join Apollo’s Ceded Reinsurance Team, with responsibility for overseeing ceded reinsurance activity across our managed Platform Partner Syndicates (PPS).

You will help ensure each syndicate operates in line with Apollo’s processes, Lloyd’s Principles and wider regulatory requirements. Supporting the full lifecycle of ceded reinsurance activity, you will provide oversight and hands‑on operational support across contract administration, reporting, settlements and the ongoing management of reinsurance arrangements.

Working across a diverse and growing portfolio, you will collaborate closely with Platform Partner Syndicates, Underwriting, Finance and Claims teams, brokers, external counterparties and outsourced service providers.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where you will support multiple syndicates and partner businesses while helping Apollo maintain effective operational controls across an increasingly complex reinsurance landscape.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee ceded reinsurance activity across the Platform Partner Syndicates, helping to ensure compliance with Apollo processes, Lloyd’s Principles and relevant regulatory requirements.
• Support the placement, administration and ongoing management of proportional and non-proportional reinsurance arrangements, including contract processing, premium and claims settlements through LORS.
• Manage and oversee outsourced reinsurance support where used, validating outputs, monitoring credit control and checking premium and claims calculations.
• Prepare clear management information for syndicate governance meetings, alongside Lloyd’s Outwards Reinsurance reporting and regulatory submissions.
• Maintain accurate contract and reinsurance data, working with internal teams, brokers and external counterparties to resolve queries and support accurate execution.
• Support the onboarding of additional Platform Partner Syndicates and contribute to improvements in processes, controls, service delivery and data quality.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience working within a London Market ceded or outward reinsurance function, with a strong understanding of reinsurance operations and administration.
• Knowledge of proportional and non-proportional reinsurance contracts, including premium processing, accounting and claims administration.
• Experience using ceded reinsurance and Lloyd’s market systems, including LORS, and supporting Lloyd’s Outwards Reinsurance reporting or regulatory submissions.
• The ability to interpret and manage detailed reinsurance information accurately while balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
• Experience preparing meaningful ceded reinsurance management information and maintaining strong operational controls.
• A collaborative and practical approach, with the confidence to build effective relationships across Underwriting, Finance, Claims and external market partners.

What you’ll get in return

We offer a competitive and thoughtfully designed reward package that reflects the value of our people. This includes a fair and attractive salary, discretionary bonus, and a comprehensive benefits package - including 31 days’ annual leave, a non-contributory pension and private medical insurance.
